May 19, 20224 yr If I get written up at a hospital, will it follow me in the future as I work at different facilities?
May 19, 20224 yr Admin Write ups are specific to the employing entity. Granted, an employer can legally say anything in a reference provided it is factual, but most limit to dates of hire and eligibility for rehire through internal policies. The only way I can see it following from facility to facility is if those facilities are under the same umbrella organization, such as the multiple hospitals in the UPMC organization.
May 23, 20224 yr It will go on your permanent record, never to be removed. Just kidding, it is facility specific, no one else will ever hear about it unless someone gives you a bad review, legally I don't think they can share that info.

Legally, as @Rose_Queen wrote above, in responding to an employment reference request, a previous employer can provide any information they wish, so long as it is factual. @Kat Murphy, best wishes.

It’s not really an urban legend. Most legal departments for big employers prohibit negative references, to avoid lawsuits. So while it’s not illegal, it’s also generally not allowed.
